2 - 4x = 14

A) -4

B) -3

C) 0

D) 3

b: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2-4x=14

subtract 2

-4x=12

divide -4

x=-3

B. x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for x. To do this, we need to get x by itself. To get x by itself, preform the opposite of what is being done to the equation

2-4x=14

Subtract 2 from both sides, since 2 is being added.

2-2 -4x=14-2

-4x=12

Divide both sides by -4 since -4 is being multiplied

-4x/-4=12/-4

x= -3

So, choice B is correct

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
